I cannot say enough incredible things about Transcendental Meditation (TM), and also about Janet…read more My journey started as a gift to myself for my 40th birthday. I learn best in-person and was impressed with the course, which was brilliantly structured! Everything about the practice itself and how one learns the information was natural, easy, beautiful and I had such individualized attention with Janet. It truly has been the best gift I have ever given myself, and a total turning point in my life. From feeling "buzzed" and constantly "on" (especially with technology and hectic work schedules) to a more grounded, calmer, clear thinking and more "me" feeling in my life. I am thrilled to incorporate TM in my daily routine and enrich my world with TM offerings. While I have tried other forms of meditation throughout the years, I know this one will stick and I am 100% committed to it. I rave about it to friends and family, and hope more people can be transformed and return back to themselves, within.

I took the paperweight making class during a trip to Vermont and had the best time! I was the only…read moreone signed up that day so I had a one-on-one class with Spencer. In addition to learning about the art of glass making, I learned about Vermont, its history and sites to see. The paperweight had to cool down overnight so I had it shipped home and just received it today - it's the best souvenir. My daughter thought it was really cool so now we are planning to take a glass making class locally. Highly recommended!

My girlfriend and I attended Spencer's Pâte de Verre class and had an excellent time. Spencer was a…read moregreat teacher, and explained the whole process very clearly. He also knows a lot about the area, had recommendations for our time around Warren, and has great facts and stories from across the Northeast and UK. I would highly recommend taking any class at Salt and Sand, we intend to return next year for the pumpkin making class and/or doing Pâte de Verre again.

I visited Satori based on the recommendations of my therapist and several friends. I've dealt with…read moreanxiety and depression issues for most of my life, and have recently been looking for treatments besides medication to deal with it. I've found that breathing exercises, regular aerobic exercise and acupressure/acupuncture work well for day-to-day purposes, but it's necessary to supplement these with something more, especially during high-stress periods. Massages and visits to traditional spas work well, but it's nice to mix things up sometimes, and neither of these activities give me the isolation I need to truly calm my body and mind down. That's where Satori comes in. It's pretty much impossible for me to put into words the sensations of floating--all I can say is that it's a feeling that seems completely foreign yet completely familiar at the same time. I've heard it compared to being weightless in space or going back to the womb, but seeing as I've never experienced the former and don't remember the latter, I'll just say it's an amazing experience that has to be tried...and retried. While Satori is mostly known for the flotation tanks, they also offer "mind spa" services. The Mind Spa is essentially a message table outfitted with subwoofers that are triggered (along with light glasses that must trigger REM or something, because it gives you some amazing closed eye visions) by the music playing through your headphones. I described it to a friend as "the sensation of lying on a huge, purring cat on a sunny day outdoors with you eyes closed". Truly a unique experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and in no way as new-agey or spaced out as you'd imagine (which is great, because I have a fairly low tolerance for that). They take their services very seriously and use them themselves, and as such can give great advice to beginners or advanced users. Highly recommended!

I've been floating at Satori for a year and a half now. I am a body worker and my massage therapist…read moreI was trading with urged me to go! Best recommendation from a professional! I have since gifted sessions to colleagues and tell everyone to experience it! I've tried 60, 90, and 2 hour sessions; up to now, 90min has been perfect. My last visit I decided to try the mind spa and that was seriously next level! The synchronization of the music in the head phones, vibrating table pad and what I've been calling "light dancing" glasses, was unreal! I did this for 30min and then floated for 90min. I ended up getting out of the tank before my session was complete because I was ready. So 30min mind spa + 1hr float is where the total relaxation is at for me! Plus Rahn is the nicest most calm human in the greater Burlington area.
